A 36-page affidavit claims Amaro Goncalves used the illicit funds to pay for, among other things, one child’s tuition at Babson College and various relatives’ credit card bills.
When Indonesian security forces needed new weaponry, a high-level executive at America’s largest firearms exporter saw an opportunity to personally enrich himself using an international network of relatives and associates to launder millions in ill-gotten gains., which reveals Amaro Goncalves, a vice president of global defense sales at Sig Sauer’s U.S.
Goncalves, who joined the company in 2012, did not respond to voicemails and text messages from The Daily Beast seeking comment. Sig Sauer representatives did not reply on Friday to The Daily Beast’s request for comment, which included an inquiry about Goncalves’ employment status at the company. However,, Goncalves lists Sig Sauer as his employer, and his position as EVP, Global Defense Sales.
“Former employees of Sig Sauer with direct knowledge of sales practices there told me that [Goncalves] maintained control over all pricing decisions in transactions involving sales to Indonesia,” Sara Albert, a special agent at the Defense Criminal Investigative Service attests in the affidavit, which sought permission to search a Gmail account belonging to Goncalves’ brother, Antonio.
“My investigation has not uncovered any indication that Sig Sauer used any special steels, different mechanical processes, or any further testing in producing the firearms in question,” Albert states in the filing. “In fact, the build date is so close to the ship date that it is unreasonable to think any special manufacturing and testing actually occurred.”
Antonio maintained a commercial bank account in Miami, into which the affidavit says Goncalves deposited the money he skimmed from the Indonesians. Antonio would then transfer the funds into a personal account he controlled, which Goncalves used as his piggy bank, siphoning out nearly $1 million between 2017 and 2020 from that one account alone, the feds allege.

TCU QB Max Duggan's heroic College Football Playoff charge is something out of a TV scriptMost Heisman Trophy candidates don't start the season on the bench. Your Caleb Williamses, your CJ Strouds, even your Stetson Bennetts … we've seen these guys for years, we've heard their names even longer. (In Bennett's case, nearly a decade.) Climbing from a backup role to an invitation to the Heisman ceremony in New York City over the course of three months is the kind of ascent you expect to see in over-the-top scripted college football TV shows, not actual college football.
